could b/feeding with nipple shield cause gas?

My 2 week old daughter is suffering from terrible colic. I'm desperate to find out what is causing it. I'm feeding using a nipple shield. Could this be the cause of it?I've got flat nipples but think I need to try getting her off it

I use one and my lo is moderatelyGassy some times. But I also use bottles so dh can feed him. I don't think the shield causes it. Unless maybe it's not on properly and lo gets a lot of air while nursing.

I use the shield and my LO is extremely gassy, refluxy, fussy. Not sure if it's bc of the shield - lactation consultants said it wasn't - but I still feel like she sucks in a lot of air while nursing with it. Trying to teach her to nurse without it but I think it's going to take awhile...
